Why Willie Revillame is not well-liked

I think it is a combination of reasons some of which you already mentioned. Yeah those are all common negative traits of other celebs but for some anti-fans those are enough reasons to dislike Willie and besides those other unlikeable celebs probably have throngs of haters and detractors too.

Other reasons may include what happened at ULTRA - the stampede. It was his show and the blame fell on his lap rather than on ABS-CBN. But I think it was a case of corporate greed. They wanted to show their fans and rival networks that they could command a bigger audience than their competition could. Unfortunately they did not provide enough security personnel to marshall the people wanting to get in into a manageable crowd. Why was there no system of distributing tickets way in advance by the management so a stampede could had been averted? And how much did they pay the victims?

Also, the alleged cheating that happened in the show which was caught on camera got more people pi$sed at Willie. Add the kantyawan and asaran that went on between Joey de Leon and Willie to the fire....some of them below the belt. Their fans continue to battle each other even now. The competition was intense but I think that is about to change due to the current affair between Willie and ABS.

I also think that the biggest reason why many people hate him now is because he sided with Villar in the last election, instead of supporting PN0Y. We all know that the Lopezes were big supporters of the yellow president and ABiased CBN has several spokespeople in their network, both on radio and TV (and cable too) who are outspoken critics of the last administration while treating the opposition with kid gloves. Can you think of any show hosts who were pro-Arroyo in their network? Di ba wala? I know people who are disgusted with that station because of their bias. But I digress...let's go back to Willie.

Personally, I couldn't care less for Willie. I don't like his show...too many people crying and they get exploited that way. Tears sell! Ratings go up, thanks to those tears. Besides I prefer stupid Eat Bulaga. It is a notch better I think because the hosts do not take themselves too seriously. To be fair, I haven't really watched the whole length of Willie's show, not once. A few minutes of watching that show is all I can stand. Pokwang is no eye candy to me and when I see her I get nauseous, then she reminds me of Ai Ai and Ai Ai reminds of Kris Aquino and Kris reminds me of Boy Abunda....and Boy Abunda reminds me that I am watching ABS...and that is more than enough for me to turn off the TV. I'm sure Willie had helped a lot of people and I won't take that away from him.

Willie was just interviewed on GMA about his current fight with ABS. He talked about his previous demand to ABS about firing the other ABS personality who was attacking him and his show and the audience. According to Willie, there is a standing policy at ABS about on-air employees not attacking fellow-ABS-CBN personalities or their show...however the station seemed to not care about the policy violation of this other personality...which showed bias on the part of the management. On the day of his return to the show he was told that he doesn't even have a show anymore to return to and that they will not fire him but put him on Chan 23 only for one hour a week and while he is doing that, they will monitor every word he utters. I am with Willie on this fight, as much as I don't like him as a show host. But as a working stiff myself, I support his fight. This is a corporate giant trying to exact its revenge on poor Willie who is nothing compared to them. This is ABS being spiteful. This is, in our parlance, a "pang-gigipit" to the highest degree. This is like a David and Goliath thing. Hey ABS, let Willie go so he can continue on with his professional life and rebuild it. Don't show your true color and pretend that your station really is about helping people, not kicking them when they are down...specially after he gave you millions in earnings.
